The mental energy that possessed the Holy Covenant Warrior was burned by Soul Flame. Sorokin's main body could not care less about being exposed. He recalled what he had seen before he fell to the ground, and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Dozens of Primordial Ones, all living to the modern era … Did they fake their deaths like me?"
Sorokin was shocked.
How is that possible?
Some of them should have really died. Their ashes should have been scattered all over the place, alright?
How did they survive the exploration era and live to this day while hiding their identities?
Is this actually a nursing home for the Primordial Ones?
Or could it be that this group of people had been hiding for so long and had been brewing a shocking conspiracy?!
Sorokin's mind was in a mess. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. He originally thought that he was a crocodile hiding under the water, but only now did he realize that the explored universe was deeper than he had imagined!
This organization was hidden so well that he had never heard of it. Could it be that no one else in the universe knew about this secret other than him?
At this time, Sorokin suddenly had an idea. He hurriedly ordered the group leader, "Disperse!
"Disperse the troops immediately and retreat in different directions. Full speed ahead!"
Sorokin's tone had a rare hint of panic.
He was confident in his own strength. He originally thought that this trip would be a piece of cake, and the success rate of taking back Soul Flame would not be low. Even when he had probed three Beyond Grade As not long ago, he had only become a little more serious. He did not think that he would fail.
However, he did not expect that there would be more than three Beyond Grade As here. Even multiplied by ten would not be enough!
The situation had exceeded his expectations. Who could handle this?
Dozens of Beyond Grade As had already exceeded the limit of what he could deal with. Furthermore, his possession had triggered the alarm of Soul Flame. It was like poking a hornet's nest. Sorokin immediately lost all hope of taking action. He only wished that he could escape from this area as soon as possible, the further the better.
At this time, the group leader looked at the remote observation screen and suddenly exclaimed.
"Boss, their fleet is moving. They're flying toward us. Furthermore, dozens of high-energy reaction bodies suddenly appeared on the radar. They're all suspected to be Beyond Grade As!"
"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and run!"
Sorokin was shocked and furious.
He could secretly find out more about this organization in the future, but if they caught up to him now, even "Future" wouldn't be able to do anything!
The mercenary group quickly scattered and fled in different directions. The main ship Sorokin was in injected all its energy into the engine and entered overload mode to escape at full speed. The starlight outside the window was pulled into glowing threads.
But not long after, the radar suddenly rang with an ear-piercing alarm!
"Boom!"
The next second, the entire spaceship shuddered and abruptly exited its hyperdrive mode, going from extreme motion to extreme stillness. The immense inertia caused all the crew members, except for Sorokin, to fall to the ground like rolling gourds.
Sorokin ignored the cries of pain from the crew and hurriedly looked out of the window.
The space around them was filled with magic arrays, and translucent arcane tentacles that looked like glass extended from them, firmly entangling the entire spaceship. They were still tightening and squeezing. The sound of metal armor tearing could be clearly heard in the cabin, and cracks appeared on the alloy cabin walls.
At the same time, in front of the spaceship, a magic portal suddenly opened, and Beiger walked out with a group of Primordial Ones.
"Beiger!"
Sorokin's eyes spat flames of anger, and he clenched his teeth. Old and new hatred surged in his heart.
Damn the sorcerer!
This time, the spaceship was suddenly taken over by a Virtual Mechanic among the Primordial Ones, and it automatically entered communication mode.
The next moment, Oathkeeper's projection appeared in the cabin, sizing up Sorokin who was hiding in the spaceship. His tone was three parts excitement, three parts curiosity, and four parts anger.
"You're the one who bypassed Soul Flame's warning and possessed my subordinate?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Who are you people? "Sorokin raised his guard one hundred percent.
"Interesting. You're not going to say that you were just passing by, are you?" Oathkeeper narrowed his eyes.
"Listen to me, I …"
"You'll have plenty of time to explain later!"
Without waiting for Sorokin to finish, the dozens of Beyond Grade As attacked at the same time. Shocking energy burst out, heading straight for the spaceship that Sorokin was in.
Boom!
The spaceship was instantly crushed into molecular dust by the energy torrent. Sorokin crashed out of the cabin at the last moment. Feeling the despairing difference in strength, he could not help but complain in his heart.
He originally wanted to use words to calm these people down, but they had already attacked, and there was nothing he could do.
Although his physical body was not the foundation of his life, Sorokin did not want to fall into the hands of these people.
"I can only attack!"
Sorokin secretly clenched his teeth and retracted most of his Soul Seeds. His entire temperament suddenly changed, revealing a cold and ruthless feeling. Shocking mental fluctuations erupted with him as the center. Visible ripples appeared in the surrounding space, as though a mental storm had appeared out of nowhere!
Sensing this fluctuation, Oathkeeper's eyes narrowed, and he pulled his teammates into the mental chat channel.
"Be careful, this guy is very strong. Don't lose to him."
"Don't worry, we have more people!"
Everyone laughed as they surrounded and attacked together.
The two sides fought fiercely, and a fierce battle erupted. However, in less than a few seconds, Sorokin fell into a one-sided disadvantage.
His combat strength was indeed very strong, and he could even occupy a place among the peak Beyond Grade As. However, no matter how strong he was, he did not enter a new level and was still in the category of Beyond Grade As.
With dozens of Beyond Grade As swarming up, no matter how strong Sorokin was, he could only take a beating. Even if the evolved EsGod came, the outcome would not be much different.
Sorokin could only defend with difficulty. Very soon, his mask was shattered, and everyone finally saw his appearance.
"This guy is … Sorokin of the Limitless Financial Group?"
Oathkeeper was stunned.
He did not expect this guy who infiltrated the organization to be a famous oligarch in the universe.
Wasn't this guy famous for being weak? Wasn't he at the bottom of the Beyond Grade As? How did he have such strength?
Could it be that Sorokin had been pretending to be weak and hiding his strength all this time?
Just as he was wondering, Beiger suddenly discovered something from Sorokin's combat mode and exclaimed.
"This Esper Ability … are you Soul Emperor?"
"What?"
Everyone's body trembled, and they hurriedly observed carefully. They all found some clues.
Modern people could only analyze Soul Emperor's ability from information, but they were from the same era as Soul Emperor and had fought him countless times, so they immediately discovered some clues.
Hearing this, Sorokin was filled with hatred.
He had always avoided using his full strength because he was afraid of being recognized, but he did not expect that he could not avoid it.
He knew that he could not hide from these acquaintances. Anyway, he originally had the intention of giving up this alias. Thinking that these acquaintances could at least talk to him, he stopped pretending and shouted.
"It's me! Didn't you bastards die a long time ago? Why are you still alive?! "
"It really is you, Rovell Sissock!"
The Primordial Ones were shocked, and their attacks slowed down slightly.
If it were a stranger, they would not have been affected, but Soul Emperor was someone from their era and was someone they knew. Everyone was very curious about what was going on with Sorokin.
We didn't revive you. Could it be that you're not dead at all?
Beiger's expression changed slightly. He recalled Black Star's words back then, hinting that Soul Emperor was still alive.
"You faked your death back then?"
Beiger was greatly shocked and astonished.
"I clearly killed you back then. There was no sign of life left. How did you do it?"
"How dare you mention it!"
Sorokin dodged another magic arrow that could penetrate a planet. The veins on his forehead bulged as he recalled the memories back then.
Back then, his physical body had lost its life, and he was indeed on the verge of death. The strong unwillingness in his heart caused his potential to erupt, allowing his Esper Ability to undergo a second awakening and complete the upgrade, allowing him to comprehend the [Immortal Soul] ability. Otherwise, he would have died in the exploration era war along with his original physical body.
At this time, Oathkeeper thought of something and suddenly doubted his judgment of a mole.
It looked like Sorokin did not know about it long ago. Could it be that it had nothing to do with the organization's previous information leak?
"I didn't expect you to be Soul Emperor back then. You hid really well … How did you discover us?"
"I just wanted to take back Soul Flame and followed my senses. I didn't know anything about you guys." Sorokin clenched his teeth. "Stop fighting. Let me go!"
Oathkeeper recalled what happened just now. He was about sixty to seventy percent convinced, but he still shook his head.
"Regardless of whether you knew about it in the past or not, you've exposed our secret today, so don't leave. We're all from the same era. Let's have a good chat … But that will have to wait until you lose the ability to resist. Surrender obediently. You have no chance of escaping, so why continue to suffer?"
Everyone agreed. Most of them did not plan to kill Sorokin immediately. After all, they were acquaintances from the old era. Meeting in the modern era was more or less fate. They all wanted to know what Sorokin had been through all these years.
Bang!
This time, Sorokin was punched in the face by Pangon again, and he flew out in circles. He forced himself not to lose focus as he observed the battlefield. His heart kept sinking.
With dozens of Beyond Grade As surrounding him, he did not have the ability to break through at all. In terms of mobility, the Mage's teleportation spell was far superior to his, so there was no way he could escape at all.
Is this body that I spent so much effort cultivating really going to die here? I clearly wanted to use it to deal with Black Star, but I haven't even seen Black Star's face yet!
Although Sorokin had a certain degree of confidence that he would not die here with the help of his Esper Ability, he did not want to take the risk if he could escape with his physical body. After all, with the record of faking his death, these people would definitely check more carefully.
How many years has it been since I've been in such a sorry state? I'm still not good at being a coward. If I knew that I would end up poking a hornet's nest, why would I want to kill Black Star? Wouldn't it have been better to just retire?
Sorokin was filled with regret.
"What, still not surrendering?" Beiger snorted. "Don't think that I won't kill you just because we're acquaintances. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"
Hearing this, Sorokin suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he suddenly recalled a memory that had been sealed for a long time.
"I remember now! Holy Covenant, you guys are the Holy Covenant! "
The memories of the exploration era became fresh again. Back then, Sorokin had heard of the Holy Accord, but he only scoffed and did not join.
After so long, the Primordial Ones had died one after another. He had thought that the Holy Covenant organization had disappeared in the river of history.
When he first discovered the dozens of Beyond Grade As, Sorokin was too shocked and busy running, so he did not think about this at all. Just now, in order to find a way to escape, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he finally remembered the 'rumor' circulating among the Primordial Ones.
So …
"The Sanctum Revival is real? You guys succeeded? "
Sorokin's expression suddenly changed, and his tone was filled with disbelief.
If it was really a revival, everything would make sense. He did not expect such a baseless rumor to be true!
Seeing that Sorokin had guessed the truth, everyone present was shocked.
Soul Emperor was from the same era, so it was not impossible for him to guess the truth. However, although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked to have their secret exposed.
At this time, a thought flashed through Sorokin's mind, and he connected all his previous experiences together. A plan quickly appeared in his mind, and he was overjoyed. It was as if he had found a glowing exit in the darkness of despair, the only hope to escape!
The Holy Covenant was so mysterious, so they definitely did not want to expose the Sanctum Revival. This was the only thing that could be used against them. Only by betting that these people did not dare expose it would there be a chance for things to turn around!
While thinking, Sorokin did not hesitate and shouted, "You guys have been hiding the secret of the Sanctum Revival.
"You've been hiding your identities and keeping the secret of the Sanctum Revival. You must remember that my ability is to possess outsiders. I won't be able to escape your encirclement today, but before you kill me, with my ability, I have time to control the other Star Fields and spread the news of the Sanctum Revival! If you don't want to leak the information, stop immediately, or I'll immediately expose the information to all the organizations! "
As soon as he said that, everyone's expression changed, and they subconsciously slowed down their attacks, looking at Oathkeeper in unison.
"… Are you threatening us?" Oathkeeper's eyes were uncertain.
"You forced me to do this. I just want to live!" Sorokin wiped the blood from his forehead. Although he was not confident, he could only pretend to be tough and said in a deep voice, "You're the host of Soul Flame, so you can try to stop me, but can you bear the consequences? Only I know the secret, so it's better than the whole universe knowing. "
Oathkeeper silently sized up Sorokin for a while. When the atmosphere became more tense, he suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Everyone, stop."
As soon as he said that, everyone stopped attacking, but they still surrounded Sorokin with unfriendly expressions, not letting him escape.
This really hit Oathkeeper's weak spot. He knew the impact of the Sanctum Revival being exposed. In comparison, Sorokin's life was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Oathkeeper was also an expert in the field of mental strength, but he did not have a hundred percent confidence in stopping Sorokin from using his Esper Ability to control the possessed body. Who knew what new methods this guy had learned after living for so long?
Oathkeeper felt that things did not have to go to that point, so he planned to play it safe and observe the situation.
